KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association is happy to announce that its partnership with Scripps Media and their independent television station, KMCI, to broadcast an MIAA Football Game of the Week will continue in the 2025 season.

Serving the Kansas City metropolitan area, KMCI, 38 The Spot, will once again broadcast 12 MIAA football games to local television audiences in the greater Kansas City area. The schedule has been designed to provide one of the conference's best matchups each Saturday in the 2025 NCAA Division II season. All MIAA football contests will continue to be streamed live on The MIAA Network.

"We are excited to enter our second year featuring a 12-week MIAA Football TV Game of the Week on 38 The Spot,” said MIAA Commissioner Mike Racy. "This is a great Kansas City sports television platform, which helps the MIAA office reach new audiences to showcase some of the best collegiate football programs in the Midwest. We also know that this exposure will help drive many new patrons to The MIAA Network."

"We will have at least one live television broadcast from each of our ten MIAA football campuses this fall, and this provides our MIAA athletic programs and universities with a three-hour infomercial to reach new fans, supporters, donors, and prospective student-athletes in a 200-mile radius of the Kansas City metro,” Racy added.

First broadcasting in 1988, KMCI-TV, 38 the Spot, is Kansas City's only independent station. The Scripps News Group is a dynamic team of journalists, all working together to bring you on-the-ground reporting that puts facts and people first.

“It is great to be talking about the return of fall football and having the MIAA Football Game of the Week back on KMCI, 38 The Spot,” said Kathleen Choal, Regional Vice-President and General Manager of KSHB and KMCI. “It is clear our audience really loves these teams and they enjoy watching the weekly matchups on 38 the Spot,” added Choal.

The broadcast schedule for the league's 12 NCAA Division II football contests to be aired on live television is listed below. Six of the 12 games on the schedule will feature teams ranked in the first 2025 NCAA Division II football preseason rankings.
